Second home maintenance is everything that keeps a house by the sea in order while you are away: the garden, the cleaning of terrace, driveway and façade, and small repairs. Desaever Group does this for owners of villas, apartments and holiday homes in Het Zoute, Knokke and on the Belgian coast, once or by agreement, with one point of contact.
You combine what your property needs: maintaining the garden and outdoor area, cleaning driveway, terrace, façade and pool, and odd jobs or small repairs. It can be a one-off, for example to get the home ready for use or for letting, or recurring by fixed agreement. We only take on what we can carry out carefully ourselves.
Which work, when and how often: we set it down beforehand. We also agree how we access the garden or the property. That way the work is done while you are away, and afterwards you hear what has been done. You do not have to coordinate the work yourself.
A property by the sea lives differently from one inland. Salt, wind and sand weather façades, joints and joinery faster. Many homes stand empty for part of the year, so small problems go unnoticed for a long time. That is why we work with clear agreements on access and follow-up, and combine jobs where we can.
Many owners combine a spring visit, garden maintenance in season and a winter-ready visit in one agreement. In spring the terrace, garden furniture and pool terrace are cleaned. In autumn the leaves go, terrace and driveway are cleared of moss and the gutters emptied, so you find everything in order in spring.
Yes. We agree beforehand what happens and how we get access, and afterwards you hear what has been done.
We arrange things by e-mail or phone and agree beforehand how and when we come by. That can be in Dutch, French or English.
No. A one-off job is possible too, for example to get the home ready before the season.
Yes. For an apartment it concerns the terrace, the garden furniture and the drains; shared parts go through the building manager. For a home you let, we get the garden and outdoor space ready before use.
Garden, cleaning and repairs in one agreement: that is exactly the idea of tailored property maintenance.
We discuss that when we first meet, based on what your property needs.
